My printer is an OfficeJet Pro 8210 and it will prompt to download and
install a software upgrade, if available, when it's connected to the
network. It has upgraded the software once, since I've had it. I do not
know how often it checks HP for updates.

It's worth noting the security risks that come with network printers.
Their firmwares is not often updated, and has been shown to be
insecure time and time again.^1 You may be better off connecting it to
a computer you trust, then exposing it as a network printer through
that computer. The photosmart D110 is the printer I had as a kid, and
I don't think it's gotten an update in a very long time.

because of other problems, xfinity just came and provided a
new modem/router/wifi. i logged into xfinity's device and
set up reserved ip addresses for my stuff in accordance with
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 alphacent.localdomain alphacent
10.0.0.1 xfinity.localdomain xfinity
10.0.0.63 aldeberon.localdomain aldeberon
10.0.0.62 d110.localdomain d110
10.0.0.61 unknown
10.0.0.60 alphacent.localdomain alphacent
50.87.218.82 bluedan
all is well, except for the printer. i went through the
wireless setup on the printer which declared success, but
the xfinitiy modem shows it as an offline device --
un-pingable.

what's going on?
ole dan
I swapped out my gateway with Comcast last month because of the speed
increases back in March. My HP printer was connected to the previous and
is connected to the new, via Ethernet. The printer apparently retained
its IP address in its settings, so once it was connected to the new
gateway, it just worked.
If the above is the IP address of the printer and HPLIP is already
installed, as superuser/root, running:
hp-setup -a 10.0.0.62
in a terminal window, should otherwise configure it.
